Pilgrimage Five

A prize-winning author Garry McDougall brings a fresh new collection of stories from France and Spain. He casts his eye over its colourful towns. He draws inspiration from each town's weird, violent and peculiar histories including real and reimagined évents. These towns shape their people.
His style is colourful, intense and full of vivid images, like:
'I am pilgrim to Nogaro, north of Pau, south of Brive, east of the Atlantic, west of Shanghai beer. Watching TV Rugby in southern France, it's Pau v Brive; thirty men wrestling in the mud, rucking, mucking and mauling merrily, the thirty-first man blowing his whistle. No reason.'
